Really nice structured cabernet. Red fruits, cherries, spice. Medium bodied with good acidity and good length. The tannins are still quite firm, this will likely last for a few more years.

Clare Valley goodness. Wonderful wine from a wonderful vintage. 12 years on, this is better than ever. Still some black fruits, with Clare Valley eucalypt and licorice. Plenty of fine tannin, palate is beautifully balanced. Who said the Clare Valley doesn't do good cabernet? If you like a balance between primary and secondary, drink it now.

Nose of raspberry, red cherry, blackberry, and lavender. Palate shows tight acidity and tannins, with bright fruit (blackberry, raspberry) and and lots of smoke and spice (pepper, cumin).

Deep red with a lighter rim. Showing signs of development. Nose of dark fruit, vanilla, cedar box. Full bodied with firm drying tannins. More dark fruit on the palate, with hints of liquorice.
